During the growing season, it is best to call just before getting in the car to drive here as sometimes all of the ripe fruit gets picked and the field has to be closed for a few days to allow the green fruit time to ripen. This website, on the Today’s Harvest page, and the telephone recording, 410-442-2605, are updated every day and throughout the day during the growing season to make sure you get the most up-to-date picking information.

We strive to grow top quality fruits and vegetables for you to pick your own or purchase in our farm market. We consider the soil and the plant material to be our most valuable resources. To keep the farm healthy and safe we use Integrated Pest Management and Best Management Practices.

We are located in the central part of Maryland, in western Howard County.  The farm is 3 miles south of 1-70 (Exit 73) on Rt. 94, Woodbine Road. Our farm is half way between Baltimore and Frederick, just south of the little town of Lisbon, MD. The address is 2415 Woodbine Rd, Woodbine, MD 21797.

In March 2013, we purchased a farm, one mile north of Larriland Farm, on Route 94, Woodbine Road. This farm, The Moore Farm, will grow pumpkins for picking on weekends in October. Adding 35 acres of crop ground allows us to do a better job with crop rotation for pumpkins. Pumpkins do best with a 5 year crop rotation for improved disease control.

In July, 2018, we purchased another farm, one half mile east of Larriland, on Florence Road. This farm, The Fine Farm, will allow for replacement of apple and peach orchards, expansion of existing crops, and better crop rotation. Peach orchards need replacement every 15-20 years. Apple orchards need replacement every 25-30 years. Blackberries rotate every 10-15 years. Raspberries rotate every 4-7 years. Blueberries rotate every 30-40 years. Many of our crops are in need of  replacement on new ground.

Weather conditions and customer demand determine the supply of our fruits and vegetables. Sometimes the demand may deplete the supply of certain fruits and vegetables during a particular ripening season.
